Application of a Microcomputer to a Mobile Electric Power Plant

摘要

This report contains information relevant to a generator control system to be used in a new DOD Mobile Electric Power Plant (MEP354). An initial study revealed that a microcomputer control strategy was the most suitable system to use for this particular application. A breadboard system was built and tested to see if the controlled power complies with the applicable standard for ground power, MIL-STD-704C. Results obtained indicate that the microcomputer control system will regulate voltage and frequency to the extent called out in the aforementioned military standard. (Author)
